Postoperative thrombosis prophylaxis with subcutaneous heparin-Ca injection.
Low-dose subcutaneous Heparin-Ca injections have been used for the prevention of thrombo-embolic complications of obstetrical-gynaecological operations in 126 women exposed to risk. The blood coagulation parameters showed heparin effect of prophylactic level and thrombocytopenia or bleeding did not occur. The drug was well tolerated locally. Deep vein thrombosis or embolism did not develop. According to the opinion of the author heparin prevention is absolutely indicated--especially in case of existence of several risk factors.
